Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge

Fun fun fun

It looks like Herman Cain is really into something. You might think the reason to celebrate is his surge in the latest polls but that is not it. Cain can be proud of himself for he is now a target of our unfair and unbalanced media!

Check it out this little nugget that is in the main page for CNN today:

Oooohhh! Amidst all the nonsense of the ‘Wall Street protest’ a little stab at the ugly Republicans! But not any Republican… The one most people have never even heard about! And when you read the article you see this Cain guy is really crazy here! After all, you got to be a radical to say that:

“It is not a person’s fault because they succeeded. It is a person’s fault if they failed. And so this is why I don’t understand these demonstrations and what is it that they’re looking for.”

Now, I have to admit that Cain is not my favorite among all Republican contenders. I think Romney is better qualified (and still think he will be our candidate). However, it is impossible not to enjoy this total discombobulation that Cain is causing to the liberal establishment.

After all, wasn’t the tea party a white movement full of ignorant racists? How in the world can they be favoring a black man over, say, a nice whithey like Rick Santorum (who is by the way much more right wing than Cain)?

And how about Cain’s life story? Can you imagine the horror ivory tower liberals would face if they had to criticize a candidate who was born to a very poor family (his mother was a cleaning woman and his father, who was raised on a farm, was a chauffeur) and grew to be not only a politician but a incredible educated (BA in Math, Masters in Computer Science) and successful man?

Cain is the nightmare match for Obama. Not only the race card would be gone but the comparison between the two is almost unfair. Obama is the boy who was raised by his rich grandmother in Hawaii. He is the spoiled college student who did drugs because he was bored. He is the guy who has never worked for a corporation or created one job in his life. How could he even try to criticize the older, much wiser man who rose out of poverty and has more life experience than Obama’s cabinet?

Cain would trounce Obama.

1) Being able to notice that an economic crisis is looming (one intimately related to Wall Street players past misbehavior and the government having turned a blind eye to said misbehavior) and that such a crisis may affect people’s station (especially in the short run, aka, being currently unemployed) is being aware of one’s surroundings, not rejecting individual responsibility. Talking about success and Wall Street in the same breath is particularly preposterous after all those bailouts have taken place. By the way, if he thinks a president’s performance and policies do not affect individual outcomes, he should consider sparing his valuable time and not applying for such a useless position.
2) If it comes to Obama vs Romney, I will vote on the “Post-American President” instead of voting on a Post-Christian one. Values voters have being faithful to the GOP since Reagan’s times, even when W’s policies became a PR disaster and a political liability. Time to reciprocate for that loyalty. If we elect an openly non-christian person, the next Bill Clinton will not even bother to pretend he is a christian. There is no difference at all between electing a mormon and electing a gay or a Muslim (the War on Terror is a practical difference, not a moral one).
3) Rick Perry is the one Republican hopeful who showed proper respect for and remarkable understanding of American values. He champions what is right, not what is politically convenient. Moreover, he worships the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not his own political success. There is too much at stake now For what will it profit a party if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?

Mormons neither trust Our Lord Jesus as their only Savior nor believe in His perfect Word.http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0061/0061_01.asp
In this regard (surely the most important one for a righteous voter), they are no different from gays and Muslims. “Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?” Galatians 4:16

A president makes most important moral decisions on a daily basis. The president-through his/her Supreme court nominations- decides whether children will live or die (Roe v Wade). The president-it should be the Congress, but we got an “Imperial Presidency”- decides if, when and why American Christian soldiers must sacrifice their lives for our sake. How could someone who doesn’t acknowledges Our Lord’s shed His precious blood for our sins make the right calls? How could “a nation under God” be led by a non-Christian? By the way, Ayn Rand was very wicked woman, she was pro-abortion, she did not trust Our Lord as her only Savior and she had a lover . Rand was a false prophet, and Randianism is an abomination before the eyes of God. “Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.”- Revelation 18:4 Do not be fooled by Satan!
